Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 24 I Want to Be a Speculative Investor

As the bell rang, the teacher did not extend the class. Instead, he looked at the students and said, "That's all for today's lesson. See you Wednesday afternoon. get out of class dismissed."

"Let's go eat."

"Eat, eat."

"I'm exhausted. I watched the market all day and only made a 0.7% profit, which is less than a tenth of what Lai Weijie makes."

"Brother Jie, please share some of your experience!"

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the lecture hall was packed with students eager to leave for lunch.

Lai Weijie, who was originally an unknown figure and no one paid attention to him, has now become the focus of attention.

As he packed his things, he continued to be modest, saying, "You're all joking. I was just lucky to buy a promising stock. Oh, by the way, I have some things to take care of, so I won't chat with you anymore."

He hurriedly fled the lecture hall, fearing that his secret would be exposed.

Zhang Yang remained relatively calm. He first saved the data file, then shut down the computer and put it into his bag.

"I heard the new chicken wing rice rolls at Cafeteria No. 3 are really good. Let's go, guys, let's have a bite!" Chen Chuan said to his three roommates.

"I'm starving, let's go!"

Wang Liu responded quickly.

Still reeling from his heartbreak, Xu Jiafeng waved his hand with a bitter expression and said, "I'm not going. I have no appetite."

Seeing Xu Jiafeng looking lost and absent-minded, Wang Liu and Chen Chuan exchanged a glance, seemingly having guessed what was going on, and switched into their "frenemy" mode.

Wang Liu: "You didn't break up with your boyfriend, did you?"

"If they didn't agree, how does that count as a breakup? What's it called again...?"

Chen Chuan pretended to think for a moment, then continued, "Right, it's called unrequited love, or secret crush!"

"Feng, cheer up, Feng. Xu Zhiruo rejected you, right? Someone will take good care of her for you, don't worry."

"You're right. I saw a woman named Sister Feng on Tieba posting a marriage proposal. Why don't you give it a try?"

Wang Liu and Chen Chuan worked in unison, stabbing Xu Jiafeng in the heart again and again, causing the latter to feel a surge of nameless anger rising in his abdomen.

"Depend on!"

"Would it kill you to shut up a bit?!"

Xu Jiafeng shouted, immediately attracting the attention of the whole class.

Xu Zhiruo, He Jing, and others all turned their attention to Xu Jiafeng, while some students who had already left the classroom turned back to gossip about what had happened.

Under so many gazes, Xu Jiafeng's face instantly turned red, and he said in a low voice, "You two sons, just you wait."

"Chicken wing rice wraps, if you're not going, I'll keep talking," Chen Chuan said with a smile.

Wang Liu: "Someone said..."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Xu Jiafeng quickly interrupted, almost covering the mouths of his two "sons".

"What about you, dorm leader?"

Chen Chuan looked at Zhang Yang, who was packing his things.

Zhang Yang glanced at the time on his phone and then said, "I have some things to do. Chuanzi, could you guys take one back to my dorm for me?"

"no problem."

Chen Chuan agreed.

Bringing lunch is a simple thing.

Aside from not being able to get up in the morning and not bringing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks are all just a matter of a word from him.

"What's wrong? Is it with your sister...?"

Wang Liu was rather gossipy, and when he said the second half of the sentence, he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows, giving off a "I understand" look.

"Professor Wang Xingbang is looking for me. Does he want to join us?" Zhang Yang smiled calmly and extended an invitation.

Upon hearing that it was Wang Xingbang looking for Zhang Yang, Wang Liu quickly refused, saying, "You should go by yourself. I have a phobia of teachers, and I get a headache just looking at them, let alone that old man Wang Xingbang."

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I'm going to see what he wants from me."

"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria too."

Zhang Yang picked up his laptop bag and walked out the door. His three roommates also quickly left the classroom and headed to the cafeteria for lunch.

……the other side.

Teacher's Office 4-3-101.

This is Wang Xingbang's private office, about 20 square meters. In addition to a desk, chair, and storage cabinet, there is a simple bed on the right, which is probably for temporary rest.

At this moment, Tao Yuang, dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and shiny crocodile leather shoes, looking like a financial elite, glanced at the Rolex watch on his left wrist, seemingly asking why Zhang Yang hadn't arrived yet.

Wang Xingbang noticed his impatience and said, "There are two classes in Investment this afternoon. The bell just rang a little while ago. Sit down and wait."

"I'm going out to have a cigarette."

Tao Yuang took out his Huazi cigarette case, preparing to go to the corridor to relieve his craving for a cigarette.

next second.

Zhang Yang appeared at the door.

He knocked on the open doorframe and said, "Professor Wang, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, I need to talk to you about something."

Wang Xingbang stood up.

Tao Yuang also put away the Huazi cigarette box and looked Zhang Yang up and down.

He actually remembered Zhang Yang, not only because the other party was handsome, but also because he was the top student in his major.

The fame of top students in schools is comparable to the social influence of entrepreneurs.

"Zhang Yang, right? My name is Tao Yuang. We met before, do you remember me?" Tao Yuang took the initiative to extend his hand to show goodwill.

"Senior Brother Tao, of course I remember." Zhang Yang shook hands with him politely.

The moment Tao Yuang spoke, he knew it was Tao Yuang who was looking for him, not Wang Xingbang.

Considering that the other party is a fund manager at Huaxin Securities, in charge of the "Huaxin Simulated Trading Competition" at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, it's possible that the fact that he was managing Lai Weijie's portfolio has really been exposed.

However, Zhang Yang did not flinch and remained calm, waiting for the other party to speak.

"It's good that you remember me. I was just afraid that my ordinary appearance wouldn't leave a lasting impression on you."

"Senior Brother Tao is joking. You're quite handsome."

"You're too kind, junior brother. I know my own limitations, whether I'm handsome or not."

The two of them exchanged meaningless pleasantries, one after the other.

Suddenly, Tao Yuang changed the subject, saying, "By the way, junior brother, I heard you're producing research reports for sale. Are you trying to become a financial analyst?"

He added right after he finished speaking, "I have an internal referral opportunity here. Would you like to try working at Huaxin Securities?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhang Yang's mind raced, and things gradually became clearer with each conversation.

"It wasn't the gunman's fault after all."

Zhang Yang murmured to himself, then looked at Tao Yuang and politely declined, saying, "It's just a side job. I actually prefer to be a speculator."

"hot money?"

Wang Xingbang and Tao Yuang spoke in unison.

They had considered hiring Zhang Yang as a securities firm, venture capital bank, or commercial bank, but they never imagined that he would become a speculative investor.

What is speculative capital?
To put it bluntly, they are retail investors.

The income of full-time individual investors is very unstable, similar to that of salespeople. When the market is good, they can earn tens or hundreds of thousands a month, but when the market is bad, many people only receive a basic salary.

The most crucial thing is...

Salespeople have a guaranteed minimum wage, while individual investors not only don't have a guaranteed minimum wage, but may also lose money.

Wang Xingbang didn't want to interrupt their conversation, but after hearing that Zhang Yang wanted to become a speculative investor, he advised him, "Zhang Yang, you should think this through. Speculative investors are not like fund managers. They lose their own money and don't even have a guaranteed salary."

"Also, if you're not a recent graduate, it will be extremely difficult to get into a top 10 securities firm in China. You need to think carefully about your future!"

Tao Yuang originally came to persuade Zhang Yang to suspend the sale of research reports, but upon hearing that his junior brother wanted to develop in the field of speculative capital, he also earnestly offered his advice:

"Zhang Yang, don't be impulsive. Being a fund manager is just as lucrative as being a speculative investor, and you might even be able to transition into private equity. Earning several million or tens of millions a year is not a problem. Most importantly, this profession offers relatively stable income!"
